You Taught Me...

You taught me....
How to hide feelings and never let them show.
                       You taught me.....
To let my happiness go.
                       You taught me...
That alcohol is a good way to escape from life.
                        You taught me....
Resentment and anger.
                        You taught me...
To let my hopes and dreams fade away
                         You taught me....
That love isn't always good.
                          You taught me.....
How to be everything I am today,
So if you hate the person I am 
You have yourself to thank.
